About Carlee

Built on Texas Values. Proven by Results.

Carlee Howard is the Broker-Owner of Rafter H Realty LLC — a boutique real estate brokerage proudly based in Mansfield, Texas. With over 10 years of experience and a rank of #103 among Fort Worth's top producing agents, Carlee sits in the top 1% of more than 60,000 licensed real estate agents across the DFW Metroplex.

"Real estate is not easy — but I was built for this work. I treat every client's money like it's my own, because this is the biggest investment of their life."

Raised in Canyon, Texas, Carlee brought small-town honesty and genuine relationship-building into one of the nation's most competitive real estate markets. She founded Rafter H Realty LLC — named for the rafters of a home and her family name — to deliver a simple, powerful promise: you always work directly with her. No hand-offs. No assistants. Just clear communication, expert strategy, and a broker who picks up the phone.

She sells 35–50 homes per year, participates in a daily Mega Agent morning call with top DFW producers Monday through Friday, and sends every active client a weekly market update so they are never left wondering what's happening with their home or their deal.

The Rafter H Difference

What You Can Always Count On

In a market of 60,000 agents, Rafter H Realty stands apart by doing the things most agents talk about — but don't actually do.

01

Direct Access — Always

When you hire Carlee Howard, you get Carlee Howard. She personally handles 95% of every transaction — every call, every showing, every contract. No assistants intercepting your most important financial decision.

02

Weekly Client Updates

Every active client receives a detailed Monday or Tuesday email covering showing feedback, market shifts, pricing analysis, and next steps. You will never go a week without knowing exactly where things stand.

03

Daily Market Intelligence

Carlee participates in a private morning call with a select group of top DFW Mega Agents every weekday — tracking interest rates, inventory, and emerging trends so her clients always have an edge.

04

Vendor Network Access

From painters and stagers to handymen, plumbers, and electricians — Carlee provides a full roster of trusted vendors to help sellers prepare their homes to attract top dollar before going live.

05

Honest, Comp-Driven Strategy

Carlee tells clients what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear. Every pricing decision and offer is backed by real market data — keeping buyers and sellers ahead, not behind.

06

Long-Term Relationships

Closing day is just the beginning. Carlee stays in contact — monthly check-ins, market updates, and client events — because her business is built on repeat clients and referrals who trust her for life.

Market Insight

What the DFW Market Really Looks Like Right Now

The DFW real estate market has shifted. We are no longer in the frenzied COVID-era seller's market, but we're not a buyer's market either. Carlee describes it as a balancing market — and navigating it successfully requires strategy on both sides of the transaction.

For sellers, this means pricing your home accurately and presenting it in showroom condition. Buyers today are highly selective on both price and condition. Overpricing causes homes to sit — and a stale listing is harder to sell even after a price reduction.

For buyers, significant lowball offers are rarely productive on well-priced homes. The smart strategy is coming in with a comp-backed offer and negotiating intelligently for concessions like closing cost assistance — a technique Carlee has refined across hundreds of transactions.

One of the biggest opportunities right now: new construction across DFW. Builders in communities from Crowley to Grand Prairie to Arlington are offering incentive packages — including interest rate buydowns — that make new builds increasingly competitive. Carlee helps buyers navigate builder contracts and understand Texas property tax realities that most buyers don't learn until it's too late.

Explore New Construction Homes

Sellers: Price It Right

The market punishes overpricing fast. Carlee analyzes comps daily and adjusts strategy in real time based on showing feedback and market movement.

Buyers: New Construction Opportunity

Builders across DFW are offering incentives rarely seen outside of a downturn. Carlee identifies which communities match your budget and lifestyle.

Know Your Property Taxes

New construction buyers in Texas face a property tax reassessment surprise in year one. Carlee explains this before you close — not after — so you're financially prepared.

Negotiating Concessions

Closing cost concessions are back on the table in this market. Carlee knows exactly how and when to negotiate them without jeopardizing your deal.

Coverage Area

Serving All of DFW

From Mansfield to Waxahachie, Arlington to Midlothian — Carlee knows these markets from the inside out.
